Martin Luther College, located in New Ulm, Minnesota, approximately 90 miles southwest of Minneapolis, serves as the primary teacher training institution for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The campus sits on a hilltop overlooking the Minnesota River Valley, featuring a mix of modern and traditional academic buildings across its 88-acre campus. Established in 1995 through the merger of Dr. Martin Luther College and Northwestern College, the institution focuses primarily on preparing students for careers in Lutheran ministry, education, and staff ministry. The college maintains a selective admission process specifically for WELS members and offers specialized programs in education, pre-seminary studies, and parish music. Students reside in one of four residence halls on campus, with housing required for all undergraduate students except those living with family in the local area.
